The 2024 Audi RS6 Avant pPerformance lives up to its name with better handling, more power, and a driving experience that competes with the best.

Americans as a whole aren't known for our taste in cars. We've got an insatiable appetite for gargantuan trucks that turn shopping centers into monster truck rallies, with massive land yachts there to spectate. It's only rational, right? Real estate is always a sound investment, and we must be doing OK in life if we claim as much as possible wherever we park.

The optional 22-inch five-Y-spoke forged and milled lightweight wheels reduce unsprung mass by 11 pounds and are offered in the three different finishes. A matte titanium finish is a stand-alone option. The Black Optic package gives the wheels a two-tone black finish and changes the exterior components to matte black. The Carbon Matte package adds a matte black finish, with the exterior adorned in matte carbon trim.The new RS Design Plus package is available in gray, red, and blue.

While Audi of America originally had to plead with the home office to bring the RS6 Avant to the U.S., the Germans are now giving us an Easter egg not found in the Euro-spec cars. Commemorating the first vehicle wholly developed by Quattro GmbH, the gauge cluster can be switched from the standard black to a white display with digital gauges based on the 1997 S6 Plus.

Steering is light and responsive with slight differences in feel depending on which suspension the car is fitted with. Audi engineers told us steering tuning was the same in both, and the tighter feel we experienced in cars equipped with the DRC is a result of the change in overall vehicle dynamics.
